Willows & Woody Florals
Saturday, March 10, 11am - 2pm

We will be on-farm and staffed, but only 11am until 2pm, on Saturday March 10.
Bouquets, plants, grow-your-own cuttings with instructions, and handmade wreaths by Zoe. Also Eggs & Jams.

Frozen Fruit, Eggs & Jams

We still have eggs, jams and jellies for sale on the porch. There is also a limited supply of frozen fruit available. These are cooking/smoothie berries. We are selling them for $2.00 per pound. There are blackberries, seedless table grapes and good supply of muscadines.

Purchases are on the honor system if we are not there.

Pruning & Planning

Tis the season for pruning & planning on the farm.
We are 80% done pruning blueberry bushes, and the Grapes will be the next big pruning project.
Have your own bushes? We are glad to share pruning tips in exchange for a little help - hands-on training!

Chill Hours Report, Wind Machine Report, Winter Maraurder (aka wild pigs) Report, Mummy Berry, Exobasidium Leak and Fruit Spot- It was way too much to put in the email version of the newsletter, so we posted the full length edition to the website for those who are interested. We hope you will check it out!

Call First Before Making A Special Trip

This time of year we are mostly on the honor system. Best to call first if you are making a special trip and to make sure we have what you are coming for. Be sure to ask us to set it aside for you. We could have it when you call, but sell out by the time you get there if we have not set it aside.

Hours of Operation

This time of year we are mostly on the honor system but if you need us to resolve a change issue (cash preferred) or use a card, call Walker at 864-350-9345. Usually he is on-farm. Ringing the bell works if he is not on the tractor, otherwise the phone works.

We love it when you bring your own containers.

CAUTION - Please wear shoes with good tread.Please no sandles or flip flops. The terrain is uneven, and in places, sometimes steep. Please wear shoes with good tread for walking around the farm. See our Picking Tips

Speed limit is 6 miles per hour....
For your own safety as well as others -
Please drive slowly and carefully.

BYOB –
Bring-your-own-bucketWe
love it when you bring your own buckets. If you have extra plastic buckets or
quart cups, we would welcome these donations to the cause. We can wash
and sanitize them and they will be "good to go" for another round.

Parking
Tips We
ask our workers to park at the top of the driveway in order to save parking down near
the old farm house for you! That means
that seeing cars at the top does not mean you have to walk in. If we are really crowded we will have someone
at the top to direct parking.
With that said, please note that trailers or RV types of vehicles must
park at the top of the driveway in the first parking area. They should not be taken down to the house because
there is not enough room to turn them around.

Preferred
method of paymentWe
love Cash! We also accept checks, and Visa or Mastercard debit/credit
cards. We are hoping that you will all continue to
use cash or checks as much as possible.

We are now mobile-friendly!
On Saturday June 4, 2016 we posted our new mobile friendly website. Please bear with us as we iron out some bumps and links. Please let us know how you like the new look, and if you find any bumps! We would love your input.

Dog
PolicyPlease
leave your pets at home.
We love dogs but it is best not to bring dogs to the farm. We cannot allow dogs in the fields and the parking area is too hot to leave pets in the car. If you cannot avoid having your dog with you, please plan for a member of your group to stay with the dog; stay out of the fields (no one wants berries that were...ah..sprayed); carry doggie bags for the unmentionable; and keep the dog on a 6 foot (or shorter) leash.

EGGS
Only getting about 3 dozens eggs a day
Please call first if you are making a special trip-
864-350-9345

More to Look Forward to - Eventually
We have added Goji, mulberries and even planted more Persimmons. They have not come on-line yet.
We have also planted more fig trees since we seem to consistently have more demand than supply.
And, as always, we will be tinkering with ways we can lower our impact on the environment,
up our harvest productivity, maintain profitability so we can stay in business
and better serve our community.
Ask Walker for details and/or Stay tuned for updates!
